“It’s supposed to be about human connection. It’s one conversation at a time.”❤️@pernilleripp do you think reading ebooks creates the same ❤️ of 📚? Not enough books on our shelves. #mschat#YAlit
@achievethecore Is it better for bilingual students to read in native language or English is they have little English proficiency? And how can teachers provide translations of texts to provide equitable learning? #mschat#DEI#ELLCHAT#ELL
I think that ebooks can definitely create that same love, especially if students can use their phone (which they always have) to read. I also think that audiobooks might be something to show students, especially ones that don't want to stand still, like in the link. #mschat
Audiobooks provide struggling readers the opportunity to develop a love for books & for reading that they might not develop otherwise, which I think is incredibly valuable. #mschat
